BEN Financials Availability

BEN Financials will be available to end users during the months of June and July
for the normal operating hours, Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.,
with the following exceptions:

As a part of the year-end closing process, the Comptroller’s Office will run the Receipt Accrual program. This program is run annually to book an accrual entry to the general ledger to account for merchandise or services provided to the University on or before June 30, 2014, that has not yet been billed by the vendor. The program looks at each line item for all open purchase orders (POs), then compares the quantity received (input by PO Buyer) to the quantity billed (input by Accounts Payable) for each PO distribution. If the quantity received exceeds the quantity billed, the difference is multiplied by the unit price on the PO line and posted as a charge in JUN-14 to the account identified on the PO distribution. The journal is then reversed in JUL-14, in anticipation of the invoice being processed in the next fiscal year. The accrual program will not include any accrual entries of less than $1,000. You still have the ability to record legitimate accrual entries below that threshold in this fiscal year by entering a manual journal entry by Tuesday, July 8th.

For PO receipts to be recorded as expenditures in this fiscal year, the goods/services must be received by the department and entered as a receipt in BEN Financials by Monday, June 30th.

In order to prepare for year-end and to know what will be accrued for your school/center, you should run the 900.Uninvoiced Receipts Report (with the Minimum Extended Value parameter set to 1,000).
This report allows you to review purchase order line, shipment, and distribution information for goods and services that have been receipted in BEN Financials but have not yet been billed. Details on the 900 report are available here:http://www.finance.upenn.edu/ben/benfin/documentation/reportdoc/quickv/900.shtml

Additionally, the 901.Overinvoiced Uninvoiced Receipts Report can be used to view uninvoiced receipts where the quantity billed is greater than or equal to the quantity ordered. Uninvoiced receipts on the 901 report do not show on the 900 report and are not part of the year-end receipt accrual. The 901 report is available only in the Senior BA Reporting responsibility. Details on the 901 report are available here:http://www.finance.upenn.edu/ben/benfin/documentation/reportdoc/quickv/901.shtml

After reviewing the reports, if you need to have receipts corrected, send an e-mail to apsup@pobox.upenn.edu and include the:

Purchase Order Number

PO Line number

PO Distribution Account (only required if the line has multiple distributions)

PO Receipt number

What the Receipted Quantity should be

Salary/ Bonus Accrual Process:

Salary and/or performance bonuses earned in FY2014, but payable in FY2015 must be accrued and recorded in either the JUN-14 or ADJ-14 period, but no later than Tuesday, July 8th. Both the salary and related benefit expenses should be recorded as a debit to Other Salaries expense (Object code 5141) and a credit to Accrued Payroll (Object code 2302). The fund number used should be either the general unrestricted fund (000000), special purpose fund (01xx01, 01xx02) or a center specific fund (01xx03, 01xx04).
No manual accruals are to be posted to the EB Pool fund (020200).
